Guitar players, recomend a good blues lesson DVD
I have been noodling around on guitar for a few decades, when jamming with friends I usually drop back to playing bass and I can hang with the 1, 4, 5 pretty well.
I took some guitar lessons a looooong time ago, I learned what I call the basic blues scale (I know there is a fancy Latin name for that but I don't remember it) and I can fake a pretty decent blues solo. However I would like to lean some fancy(er) blues licks... I have searched online but don't think I want to do online lessons... I just want to learn a few things and don't want to be taught so I am not big on face to face lessons. I know we have some guitar players here... anyone know of a good blues teaching DVD that I can plunk in my laptop and mess around with? Thanks!

Blues is sorta my game. I used to have several instructional DVDs but can't find em. Players I have learned a ton from watching, listening to and playing along:
BB King, SRV, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford. One example: Robben Ford - Back to the Blues - II - YouTube "Take what you need and make it your own."

Cajun,
What do you think of Stefan Grossman? Amazon.com: How to Play Blues Guitar Lesson One: Stefan Grossman: Movies & TV This just came up from a search on Amazon.

I was going to say SRV etc. But I think I learned more playing with Robert Cray long ago. He is very easy to play along with.

I have learned a ton from Marty Shwartz. Excellent teacher who crosses many genres and takes the time to explain, repeat, zoom in on the fretboard. He also gets into theory quite deeply. GuitarJamz.com - Free Guitar Lessons for paid stuff but he also posts hundreds of vids for free on youtube

I'm using GuitarTricks.com - paid for the subscription because it is very organized, from basic to reasonably advanced. Short clips good for my short attention span.

Search on "guitar lessons" +jazz or blues on Youtube. Lots of people have spent a lot of time uploading videos, creating tabs for Youtube.
I like this guy's instructional videos. He explains what he's doing in terms non-musicians can understand. https://www.youtube.com/user/Sawlon

I should have mentioned...
Wait for it... We don't have internet at home (cue sound of coffee cups being dropped) So whatever I get would have to be on DVD. Really like the GuitarJamz site, but can't really drag a guitar into work and practice here. I will order the Grossman DVD and google Sokolow.

This is where I have ordered DVD's in the past, and I've heard good things about this Keb'Mo series. You might be able to find used ones on Ebay or on The Acoustic Guitar Forum.
